1. Login to Facebook. If you don’t have a login, you will need to create one. You need to decide ahead of time whether the base profile you are creating will be for your business or personal. You can make the profile personal and the Fan Page business related.
2. The easiest way I have found to create a Fan Page is to go to another Fan Page. Therefore, go to mine at the following link: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Soy-Candles-Bliss-Soybean-Candles-and-Gifts/32950178226
3. If you want to become a fan of my page, now is the easiest time to do it. You should see “Become a Fan” in the upper right hand corner in the options.
Now, scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. Click on “Create a Page for My Business.”
4. Choose the type of business you are promoting.
5. Type in the Name of the Business you are making the page for. Keep in mind that you do want to use wording that will trigger your page to come up in searches. While my business name is Bliss Soybean Candles and Gifts, Bliss Soy Candles may have been a better choice.
6. Click on the "Create Page" button.
7. Edit the page. You can upload a primary photo and other photos, add information about your business, post notes on the wall, and even set up a calendar with upcoming craft shows and other events. Once you have some members you can start discussion topics and offer product reviews.
It’s that easy! Now be sure to promote your new Fan Page on your blog, on Etsy, on ArtFire, and wherever else you have a voice!

Hi Suzanne! I just found you via the Etsy newsletter's link to this post. Great post by the way! I just wanted to say hi because I'm from GH too! I live in metro Detroit now (I'm going to CCS), but I get excited when I see someone else from West Michigan :) I don't know if you've been there, but my mom owns the bead shop downtown :) I'll be ordering one of your candles soon! I'm looking at the autumn toddy, yum!
Hi - Thanks so much for posting this in the Etsy newsletter. I just created my fan page on Facebook @ http://www.facebook.com/pages/?browse#/pages/Handmade-Crochet/49103218946?ref=s, but now I don't know how to put a reference to it on my regular Facebook page. Need to do more researching & reading :). It was fun to do, so thanks for your helpful advice.
